Having two definitions for the same thing is discrimination. The hetero's get the "real" marriage while the homos get the "civil unions." What is the point in that? To appease Christian fundamentalists? All it does is say you're not good enough for the real marriage. We can't ban you completely from marrying so we've been forced to give you this other version of it. We won't allow you to share our term because we don't agree with your lifestyle and still want you to be considered sub-standard, we don't want to be seen as condoning your lifestyle.
Some people value equality. They want gays to feel normal, they don't want them to be discriminated against. They want to be tolerant of them and allow them to have the same status, privileges and rights that hetero's have. Allowing the "traditional" definition of marrige for hetero's and "civil unions" for gays does not do that. It segregates. It divides. It is discriminatory.

Shut the fata up. Does every political discussion has to get turned into a platform about same sex marriage by homosexual activists and the bleeding heart homohuggers
Until a gay couple can conceive together, a same sex union is not the same as a marriage. So spare me the "its the same thing" garbage. It isn't but no one is looking to treat anyone differently even though it is different. Just like men and women are treated equally even though they are different.
It isn't a rights issue. It is an election tool used by the Liberals to stay in power. It is a method for insecure homosexuals to gain attention that they crave. It is just a big waste of time.
So we can't vote out the corrupt party, whose abuse of public funds affects all Canadians, because the other party isn't willing to redefine a term that will affect less then 5% of Canadians?
Is this country really that fataing stupid?
